Select the Style, Size, and Location of Your Pond Aeration Windmill System
When choosing a windmill pond aerator from The Pond Guy, you have a few options. You can select a wooden finish for a rustic look or galvanized steel for an industrial style. Taller windmills can catch more wind, improving water circulation in your pond, providing extra energy, and reducing electricity needs for oxygen levels and water clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How far can a windmill be from a pond?
You can place them up to 1,000 feet from your pond, for depths of up to 15 feet.
- How do windmill pond aerators work?
As the wind blows, it turns the turbine blades, and this motion is translated into driving a compressor pump. The pump pushes air through the airlines to submerged airstones located within the pond.
- How to build a windmill pond aerator?
Assembly is required for all windmill pond aerators. With the help of two or more people, assemble and erect the windmill tower in sections on a flat surface. Follow the included installation instructions properly to ensure operational safety, stability, and efficiency.
- How well do windmill aerators work for ponds?
Windmill pond aerators are great for supplemental aeration in remote areas without electricity access. However, because wind is inconsistent, it is best to have a dedicated diffused aeration system installed alongside the windmill. Airmax SolarSeries Aerators provide 12-24 hours of consistent aeration without the need for shore power.
